Coach Accreditation

 

Begining September 1st 2025, all coaches wishing to coach on the field of play of a Badminton Alberta sanctioned event must apply for a Coach Accreditation. The applications should be submitted before the first tournament a coach will participate in through a link that will be posted by the end of the current season. Once the application is processed, a badge will be printed that will allow the coach on to the field of play throughout the 2025 season.

 

Only coaches with a valid accreditation badge will be allowed on the field of play by the tournament referee. Coaches will have to re-apply to get a valid badge for future seasons.

 

The requirements for a Coach Accreditation are as follows:

• Be at NCCP Competition Introduction - Regional Certified Coach level, with active/renewed status

• Have a valid Badminton Alberta membership and Provincial Coaching License

• Have completed either Safe Sport Training (free E-Learning course through CAC Locker) or the Respect in Sport For Activity Leaders Program (through the Respect Group Inc.)

• Provide Sterling BackCheck or valid police background check (valid for 3 years)

• Upload profile photo to PlayerWeb account for use in accreditation badge

• Acknowledge that they have read and will adhere to Badminton Alberta's Coaching Code of Conduct and Coaching Policy
